large amount of money, raises an anus.
investigate tine case of girl who had com.
mitted suicide by taking carbolic acid.
Calling a carriage he drove to the street
and number indicated to him. He
was shown into the chamber where the
body of the girl lay extended on the bed.
Taking out his notebook he prepared to
set down the facts needed for filling out
his certificate before he made his exam
ination.
What is the girls name?" he asked.
"Kate--" was the reply.
Kate" he repeated, writing.
"Sir?' responded the supposed corpse,
opening her eyes.
Of course he Immediately abandoned
recording the particulars of her death
and devoted himself to her preservation.
She was sent to the hospital and has
since recovered. The joke of the matter
is that by law the charge of medical ex-
aminer, for carriage hire can only. be
passed by the auditor when accompanied
by certificate OF death, and as the girl
in this case did not die, DIR. is out of
pocket some IS or SO. There is appar-
emily no recourse except from the patient
herself, and as she is pretty near absolute
dissolution it does not seem likely that
the bill will be paid by her.

that among the occupations which are

managing cattle ranch, or even sheep

that the ranchman Is successful-because

20 Say On the Subjecs.
The San Francisco Chronicle alludine
TO the late movement in White Pint
county, this State. against alien sheep,
owners has the following editorial article.
In view Of the Alien Land ACT passed
by Congress at its last session, no term 60
we'll characterizes the proceedings OF
these alien sheep-owners as cheek. No
sooner are they debarred by law from the
purchase OF public land than they straight
way proceed to occupy and use IL without
purchase. to the great deteriment Of our
own people. Congress having decided
that aliens shall not come into competi.
hon with citizens in buying the public
domain, they cheerfully accept the situa-
tion n get just as much out Of the land
Tor nothing as If they had paid the Govern
ment for IL.
And the way they use II, too, does not
need any explanation to any one who has
ever lived in q country tensnted by those
vagrant bands of sheep. They travel
from spring to spring and from stream
to stream, devouring every green thing in
their line Of march, and leaving the
country az bare as II il had been foraged
By locusts or grasshoppers; and not con.
tent with eating up everything, the sharp
feet OF the sheep pack the soil down hard
and tight and prevent the growth Of the
next years grass.
Nor is this all. The men In charge Of
Ahnaa .@-{~n ---I- II a.
most needless, reckless kind, II not actu-
ally malevolent; and woe to the timber
which comes in their way. They build
their campfres at night and then 60 away
at daylight. leaving their fires burning,
and so thousands of acres Of valuable
timber are sacrificed every year that a
few worthless sheep-herders may cook
their suppers or warm their feet. Fully
one-half of the forest fires In some parts
OF California and Nevada are c~hargesble
directly to the criminal neglect and oare-
lessness OF sheep herders, who care moth
ing for the rights OF others, more espe-
cially il the other be the State or the
United States.
The General Land Office should take
this matter up promptly and sharply.
These alien s~heep-owners are trespassers
In the most extreme view Of the case; and
if the Government Furnishes its own citi-
Zens who cut wood or timber on the pub
lie domain, il should be more severe with
aliens who, without q shadow OF right,
destroy the grass and burn up the timber.
The confiscation by the United States OF q
few OF these alien bands of sheep as tres
passers would teach their owners that the
United States have some rights which
even sheepmen are bound TO respect, and
that they must obey the spirit OF the
Alien Land Law as well as the letter.
